A big fear of mine where I started listening to music on my runs was losing an earbud. Each step I took felt like enough impact to maybe pop the sucker right out. Anxiety told me one or both would fall to the ground and then perfectly bounce there way to the nearest sewer grate. Well, one day my biggest fear nearly happened. The earbud slipped out my left ear. Didn’t go down a drain, but it just hitting the sidewalk was enough to push me to upgrade to something better.
If you plan on running with earbuds, or honestly just plan on participating in any high intensity activity, then you need a pair designed for it—with earhooks. Soundcore by Anker has a terrific option and right now the pair happens to be on sale. For a limited time, Amazon has the Soundcore Sport X10 true wireless Bluetooth earbuds marked down to half price. Usually, you’d see these selling for $80 but the limited-time deal has them brought down to just $40.
Ultimate Fit and Comfort
What makes the Soundcore Sport X10 earbuds special are how they fit in and around your ear. Anker has equipped these little audio buds with earhooks that lock them in place. They’re not just wedged in your ear canal. The hook wraps securely around your ear. When you’re wearing these, they are not going anywhere.
Now, some earbuds that utilize earhooks such as these end up having a significantly larger charging case in order to accommodate the their bigger form factor than standard earbuds. Anker, though, has cleverly designed the Soundcore Sport X10 to have it’s earhooks rotatable. You can twist the hook 210 degrees inward so they collapse into a small oval, taking up less room and allowing for a much smaller case than they’d need otherwise.
On the subject of the case, it can provide your Soundcore Sport X10 earbuds with up to 32 hours of additional listening time. That’s on top of the eight hours you already get via the earbuds alone.
The Soundcore earbuds are perfectly suited for sports and other physical activities. These have been engineered to be both sweat and waterproof, able to withstand the toughest of workouts.
You can control your music, audiobooks, or podcasts right on the side of the earbuds, with tap controls for volume adjustments, play and pause, as well as to skip tracks. You can also download the Soundcore app to customize the controls further.
